What is an EHR?
An EHR solution can be managed and shared “across more than one health care organization.” An EHR solution enables multiple electronic medical records from different practices to be collected and shared amongst practices. We enable patients to securely access their own medical records.
Features of the EHR?
There are numerous variations of basic and advanced EHR solutions available. The keys to find the one that will fit best with your practice are to:
- Determine if you need/want to share records with external organizations
- Determine if you need/want a solution that is designed for your practice or specialty (many specialty-specific solutions exist)
Once you’ve decided on the factors above, you’ll want to identify the features that are critical to your practice. Regardless of your specifics, be sure to evaluate solutions that are HIPPA compliant. Below are some of the basic and advanced features found in HealtheFirst:
